Mac has turned 40. So in celebrations of this epic event Dana took him on a surprise weekend vacation to the Queen City.
It started with a tremendous Friday evening dinner at Blue. I never like to order the same items at a restaurant, I want to try it all, but on this eve I ordered the Duo of Wild Boar and Bread Pudding, again .....OUTSTANDING!! Lauren even ate the stuffed peppers on her dish. A couple of cocktails and three bottles of wine later and we a were a fat and happy bunch. Thanks to Scott for hooking up the comp on the apps and cocktails!
Saturday I donned my overalls and we set out to find buried treasure at Emerald Hollow. The weather was not so great when we got there but it cleared up shortly after our arrival. However the 39 degree weather and cold water sluicing are not great together.
We briefly dug for riches. Deciding that carrying buckets of wet carolina clay 500 yards out of the woods was not the way to go. Purchasing the pre filled buckets was, clearly, the way to go. Pizza, beer, pitch, and passing out followed.
Sunday was Mac's surprise trip to Lowe's Motor Speedway for some laps in a Sprint Cup Car at the Jeff Gordon School of Racing.
Half a racing suit and a crowbar to get him in the car, and Mac was off for 8 laps around the 1.5 mile oval.
I'll post a link to the weekend's slide show soon.
